EASTENDERS legend Tracy-Ann Oberman has revealed the fate of her iconic character Chrissie Watts ahead of her latest soap return.

The actress made her Walford comeback at Christmas, after her character was imprisoned for killing Dirty Den Watts 19 years ago.

Over the festive period, Chrissie was revealed to be behind the revenge scheme against Zoe Slater.

And now, with her fresh EastEnders scenes to air this week, Tracy-Ann, 59, told how her character will have a “really happy ending”.

The BBC star appeared on Monday’s Good Morning Britain where anchor Richard Madeley, 69, asked her to remind fans just how Chrissie had murdered Den.

Before her Christmas comeback, Chrissie was last seen on-screen when she was sent to prison for the murder of her husband, Den Watts.

She had buried the body of Den under the barrel store floor of The Vic alongside Sam Mitchell and Zoe Slater with them all keeping quiet about the death, after she had killed him with a dog-themed door stop.

Richard’s co-host Kate Garraway asked Tracy Ann: “When you finish off the storyline this time will it be as dramatic?”

The actress disclosed: “Oh no it’s nice, it’s a nice ending” to which Kate interjected: “It’s a happy ending!”

Tracy-Ann continued: “It’s a really happy ending.

“It’s dramatic, it’s been really lovely to go back in and it’s been lovely to walk around the square and interact with people.

“There’s a few little nice Easter Eggs in there meeting up with characters.

“And there’s a really nice ending”.

She added how going back to the soap was like “putting on a really comfy pair of shoes”.

Tracy-Ann rounded off her chat and said it had been “a real privilege to come back in and play her again, it was really fun”.

OFF SCREEN

After Chrissie’s crime, Sam went on to drunkenly dig Den’s body up.

The full story soon unravelled with Sharon Watts being left horrified at Chrissie’s crime.

Having been sent away to jail, she had seldom been mentioned or heard from since, until her return over the festive period.

While Chrissie’s recent comeback was a bombshell – the limited stint has seen her reunite with Zoe and Sam Mitchell for the first time in more than two decades.

Speaking about heading back to the BBC show, the popular TV star previously said: “Chrissie Watts was such a great character to play – a victim or a villain.

“She is a real fan favourite so, when Chris Clenshaw asked me to come back and re-visit her and see what has happened in the last 19 years, I jumped at the chance.”

“Ben [Wadey, EastEnders producer] and I were keen to keep Chrissie’s return a complete secret, so I’m delighted my return was kept under wraps,” she added.

“I think that Chrissie has always felt that’s it’s very unfair she spent 20 years in prison and has never really been able to move on from the trauma of Dirty Den and living in Walford.

“When the opportunity came up to have something over Zoe Slater, who she has always found to be an irritating little girl, she jumped at the opportunity.

“She clearly has time on her hands!

“Also, Chrissie, whilst being very hard and tough, has a strong sense of justice, and in her mind, Zoe never really paid for Den’s murder, and the part she played in destroying the Watts family”.
